The turn-milling operation is a multitasking machining process that takes advantages of turning and milling operations simultaneously. However, using these two machining operations at the same time results in more complex and different cutting parameters compared to conventional turning process. In this study, the turn-milling kinematics have been modeled analytically. Using the model proposed in this study, the required parameters for a machine tool such as feed rate, workpiece, and tool rotational speed can be derived in terms of basic cutting parameters which are cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut.
